Why Tacos Rudos why was this picked
Tacos Rudos was picked as one of nine founding concepts at Budd Dairy Food Hall on North Fourth Street, chosen through cookoffs from hundreds of applicants, and its name comes from the villains of Mexican wrestling. Its corn tortillas are made in house, the red snapper fish taco nods to Ensenada and the al pastor to Mexico City. The stall is closed Mondays, opens at 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, and runs until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with $2 off during happy hour, Tuesday through Friday 4 to 6 p.m.

Know before you go
We order al pastor and fish tacos on handmade corn tortillas at Tacos Rudos inside Budd Dairy Food Hall. The women-owned stall keeps street-taco structure with food-hall logistics, which suits Italian Village nights when you want options under one roof without committing to a single restaurant. Tacos for two usually stay in the $$ range and leave room to try another stall afterward.
Hours run Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:00 p.m., Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m., with Friday and Saturday open until 11:00 p.m.; Monday is closed. Order at the counter and find a seat in the hall. Park for Budd Dairy near N. 4th Street in Italian Village. Cross-check other finalists on our best Mexican food in Columbus list.
